mJobTime Produces ROI in First 2 Months
California oilfield maintenance and new construction contractor recoups software investment in record time
An easy-to-use time & attendance and equipment tracking system has dramatically improved Robert Heely Construction’s business, according to controller Trina Dewitt.
Robert Heely Construction, a California company, was formed in 1977 to provide quality maintenance and new construction services to the oil industry. Services provided include gang crews, Aframe crews, certified welders, backhoes, heavy and support equipment for all phases of oil field construction and maintenance.
For years they struggled to manage the company’s time cards using a patchwork of inefficient spreadsheets and manual efforts. The company would manually key time card information into their in-house Master Builder system and their customer’s SAP system for over 250 employees on a daily basis.
Trina then discovered mJobTime, a system designed to track time and attendance for employees and equipment. “We saved over $31,000 a year by cutting out one data entry position,” she said.
“The savings resulted from the elimination of data being entered multiple times.” Now, using the mJobTime system, the company tracks, controls, and manages employee and equipment time across the organization.
“In the first month we were able to generate reports showing equipment utilization by piece of equipment,“ Dewitt said. “We were able to move two loaders from a job where they were not being fully utilized to a job where we had two rental loaders. This allowed us to return the two rentals at $6,000 each per month. This was a three month job, so we saved $36,000 dollars. We paid for mJobTime in the first two months! mJobTime gives you accurate data, which in turn allows for good business decisions.”
“The mJobTime support team has been excellent to work with and has created several custom modifications to fit our business. My staff and I have been using mJobTime since July 2005.”
